This bay is similar to Soline, in terms of its size and shelter, and is the second largest bay on Krk. It is an important place for sailors, as it houses one of the best run marinas in Croatia, with room for more than 800 yachts, and has a well-known boatyard. You can also anchor in the bay. The regular marina clients do this all the time, as they only need to sail out a few hundred metres to find a good spot to anchor and bathe, while passing sailors tend to spend the night at anchor. While staying in Puntarska Draga, you should take the opportunity of visiting Punta and Košljun islet, but first you must sail in and drop anchor, taking great care as you do so. The entrance is shallow and narrow, and the current can be strong. The maximum depth used to be 2.9 metres. The green signs should be about 15 metres to port, then pass exactly half way between the red and green signs. It is very shallow outside the marked channel. The entrance has been dredged and widened this year, so it is easier to sail in and there is better circulation between the bay and the open sea. There are also shallows in the bay, where the maximum depth is 10 metres, so you should use a good chart or navigation system. You can anchor anywhere, but the best spot is north of Košljun islet, where the depth is between 4 and 9 metres, and the silty bed provides good purchase. Do not be deceived by the apparent shelter and seclusion of the bay. Squalls can be fierce, and you need to be on your guard. The bura also blows hard, though is it less frequent and less intense in summer. When you have settled at anchor, you can bathe or do some sightseeing. There is the monastery on Košljun, reachable by dinghy, with its botanical garden and valuable museum collection. Remember, you will not be allowed in if you are wearing only a bathing costume or trunks. Then there is the much smaller, but just as fascinating 9th century ancient Croatian basilica of Sveti Dunat, located near the north shore. You can get there by dinghy too, but watch out for the water-skiers. Their cable installation is right in front of the shore. Then you should visit the marina and the village. There is an excellent ship’s chandler, a supermarket and a good restaurant. As far as Punta is concerned, this former fishing village with its many cafes and taverns comes alive in the season, so if you enjoy the summer bustle and evening walks along the waterfront, this is the place for you. You can always escape back to the peace of your boat at anchor.
